Crones for Camilla

That's my new slogan, and I'm sticking with it.

Frankly, I don't give a rat's ass about Charles and Camilla. No, she's not a great beauty like Diana was supposed to be, but then, she's about fifteen years older than Diana -- and Diana ain't looking too good these days either. I mean, give me a break. The woman is 56 years old, for God's sake! She needs a new hairstyle, but as 56-year-olds go, she's tall, slim, and not half bad looking.

The bashing that this woman has been getting in the U.S. press, who ought not to care about such things, is pretty sickening. Even Jon Stewart has gotten in on the game.

You know, if Charles had just made an honest woman out of this gal in 1972, Diana Spencer would be alive today, married to some two-bit eurotrash with a title and sleeping with the poolboy, the way rich royal relics are supposed to. Instead, millions of tabloid pages later, you had two corpses, two kids whose mother's name was dragged through the mud, a single dad, and a royal family that's a frickin' joke.

At least the English have their history as a reason for the Camilla bashing. Americans have nothing but our mean-spiritedness. And what could be more mean-spirited than banning her from the White House?

I Am Not Kidding. Since Camilla seems to be an all-purpose target these days, the White House decided to toss yet another bone at the fundamentalist right by banning her from the White House:

GEORGE Bush has banned Camilla Parker Bowles from the White House - because she is a divorcee.

The unprecedented snub has effectively sabotaged Charles's plan to take his bride on a Royal tour of America later this year.

The trip would have been the pair's first official tour as a married couple.

But the US President - a notoriously right-wing Christian and reformed alcoholic - told aides it was "inappropriate" for him to be playing host to the newly-weds, who are both divorcees.

The decision was made even though the late President Ronald Reagan was divorced.

A Government insider said: "It was relayed to us from Washington that Mrs Parker Bowles would not be welcome at the White House.

"The Americans are aware that the visit will be subject to a lot of media attent ion and did not want the President drawn into what they view to be a public relations exercise.

"It's now uncertain if the visit will even go ahead."

I guess this means Neil Bush is banned from the White House too, right?

I swear, sometimes I think this bunch provides us with material on purpose.
